This spell creates a 1-foot diameter sphere which appears to be made of steel to dart unerringly towards a target desired by the caster. The sphere travels at a movement rate of 21 (B). All who touch or are otherwise struck by this sphere release the magic held within it; this then causes the sphere to explode into triple bolts of lightning. These lightning bolts are each 5-feet in width and cause 1d4+1 points of damage per level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d4+10 for a 10th-level wizard) to all creatures in the path of the three bolts of electricity.
The material component of this spell is a small metal sphere etched with three lightning runes that has been rubbed with cotton.
Notes: Restricted to bladesingers and elves; rare.
